got my new dumps and there is no spilter in them, anyone got any idea why tomei dont run them?

the mines and nismo and midori dumps all run one, which i think is the right way to do it,so im thinking of welding a spilter in them.

im going to be running 25psi with 2860-5s so perhaps there wont be as much gas coming out the internal gate there for a spilter not needed?

any opinions?

Mines also make a non-split dump for the gtr.

Tomei never used a split design, i think its mainly due to the length of the gtr dumps, they are too short and therefore the split causes unnecessary turbulence. Take alook at the Greddy/Trust Dump/ Pipes they are the one of the better split design as the length is alot longer.

edit: Also the Older Tomei design is the largest dia dump pipes for the gtr, the newer design (lost-wax design) is i think 5mm smaller in dia

others here seem to have only good things to say about the tomei dumps so i guess they must work, any idea why tomei done away with the spilter? i cant find any thing on there web site

simply because you don't need a split on a bell mouth style dump, it just takes up useful space.

The only reasonably split dump on the market are Trust split dump/front pipe combo where the split is like 30cm long, not 5cm like HKS as an example.

yep, the benefit of the split wastegate pipe is a bit debatable. having a big bell mouth design means allowing the gas to expand immediately exiting the turbine housing which is great flow velocity and flow. don't modify them. if you really want split pipes just switch to HKS ones and flog the tomeis. personally though I would just stick with the tomei's. :)

Here's an interesting hybrid style dump made in the US. Note the splitter is only about an inch long if that. Basically bell mouth style with splitter to separate wastegate gasses immediately aft of the turbine. Then allows gasses to merge and expand in the main body of the dump.

my garrett 2860-7 turbos (and possibly others too) have this splitter cast into the exhaust housing between the wastegate flap and exhaust turbine.

is this to reduce turbulance ? if so then a spit dump pipe is not needed

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
